and it hasn't appeared, please let me know so I can make sure it gets into
distribution.
NEW MEMBERS
WALT (walt.newcomb@paonline.com)
******
My name is Walt Newcomb. My MOORE line (as far as I can trace it - which is
the point of this note) is first seen in Goshen, Chester Co PA. Nathaniel
MOORE Sr. is where the line ends at the moment. His Family Group sheet is
provided for clues. I have failed miserably in tracing Nathaniel outside of
Chester Co PA, but noted that JUDY ALLEY nas Nathaniels in VA. I have found
few Nathaniels in Chester Co, and all post-date Nathaniel Sr.
I have additional information on the offspring of Nathaniel Sr; those in my
line ended up in NE Ohio and moved on to Illinois.

NANCY ( Naelwell)
My name is Nancy Moore Elwell and I've been watching with great interest each
issue, hoping some of the Northeastern Moores will connect with my ancestors.
I live in rural Rushville, NY and am active in the local Heritage Group,
helping them get their genealogy files in the computer. These are the
ancestors I have so far:
James Moore is the big question in this tree. No other info at this time.
Charles A. Moore, son of James, b.1849, d. 30 Apr, 1923 in Newark, m. Louisa
E. Steves, b. 2 Mar1853 in the Town of Manchester, d. 5 Dec1921, Newark, NY.
Guy G. Moore, son of Charles, b. 1875 in Clifton Springs, NY, d. 9 Aug, 1917
in Manlius, NY as a result of a trollycar accident; m. Florence Emily
Francisco, b. 13 Mar1878, in Middlesex, NY, d. 20 Feb1964 in Naples, NY.
Two sons, William Francis (my father) and Ivan H. b.1903, d.1983, both born
in Middlesex, NY.
William Francis, b. 13 Jan1902 in Middlesex, NY, d. 25 Dec1974 in
Canandaigua, NY, m. Adelaide Clark on 24 Aug1926 in Newark, NY. One son,
James Ronald, b. 3 Sept 1931 and two daughters, Jean and Nancy
My brother James Ronald, now lives in SC after living most of his life in the
North. He has one son, also James, who lives in TN. Reverse migration! Am
working on James, but haven't made a final family connection. Any help would
be great.
QUERIES
JOY (tazman@intellinet.com)
I am still looking for information on a Susan Moore, but I've found some new
stuff since I last wrote. Her parents!! Howard & Tabitha (Reid) Moore.
Found conflicting information on birthplace of Susan. Several census records
say Virginia (1816) and a couple say Tennessee. I believe Howard was born in
1790 in Virginia. If any one can help me I would appreciate.

MOORE MISCELLANY
Abstract from the "Newsletter of the Descendants of John Moore of Albemarle
Co, Virginia (died 1777)," April 1991:
It would appear that John Moore [Albemarle Co VA, d 1777] had only two wives
and that Mary (Bullock) Moore was the mother of all his children except
Matthew, the eldest. Mary (Bullock) Moore is known to have been the sister
of Patterson Bullock of Louisa County.
The first wife is believed by many of descendants to have been the daughter
of Matthew Jouett, of whose will John Moore was executor. This thesis
borrows support from the fact that John Moore's oldest son was named Matthew.
The evidence indicates, however, that Matthew Jouett married John Moore's
sister Susannah. But it is significant that the name Jouett occurs nowhere
among any descendants of John Moore's son Matthew.
Captain John Jouett, born 7 December 1754, was the most famous of John
Jouett, Sr., and Mourning Harris Jouett's nine children. Captain Jack was a
big man. He was six feet four inches tall and weighed 220 pounds.
In 1781, when Cornwallis advanced towards Richmond, the Virginia Assembly
adjourned to meet in Charlottesville. Colonel Banastre Tarleton with about
250 mounted troops headed towards Charlottesville in hopes of capturing
members of the Virginia Assembly. On the evening of June 3, 1781, Captain
Jack Jouett, who was at Cuckoo Tavern in Louisa County, about a mile west of
John Jouett's plantation, found out that Tarleton and the British troops were
approaching. Taking a short cut through the woods, Captain Jack rode over
back roads and paths and thickets to Charlottesville, about forty miles away,
and gave the alarm before Tarleton arrived there. The limbs and brambles
Captain Jack rode through in the dark whipped and slashed him so that his
face was scarred for the rest of his life. At daybreak, Jack Jouett arrived
at Monticello and warned Governor Thomas Jefferson of the imminent danger.
Martha Jefferson and the two small Jefferson daughters left hurriedly for
the nearby Carter estate, Blenheim. Jack Jouett then rode on into
Charlottesville and warned the Virginia Assembly that the British were
coming. In addition to saving the Jeffersons from being captured, Jouett's
ride also enabled Patrick Henry and three of the signers of the Declaration
of Independence to leave Charlottesville and avoid capture by Tarleton. The
three men who signed the Declaration of Independence were Thomas Nelson, Jr.,
Richard Henry Lee, and Benjamin Harrison.
